2016 was a milestone for GERES, since our association celebrated its 40-year anniversary. Over the last 4 decades, GERES has consistently worked to improve the life conditions of the poorest, preserve the environment and limit climate change. But we never act alone. The actions we carry out are made possible thanks to the continuous support of our technical and financial partners, and to our employee’s commitment.

In 2016, we were able to rely once more on the support and the collaborations of 71 financial partners and 105 technical partners to conduct our social and environmental projects in Europe, Africa and Asia. We warmly and sincerely thank them for their trust.
